Our world is wrought with evil people doing evil things. Chaos and violence and scandal abound. How easy it is to get overwhelmed, give up, throw in the towel, before we begin to plan how we will change the world. It is easy to feel powerless.

Powerlessness begins with you. When you decide not to care about something, when you don’t believe that you are able to create the reality you want, you won’t even try, and your belief becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Apathy is a disease of lethargy and defeat. It will lead to a passionless, boring, mind-numbing life. Don’t be afraid to feel, to care, deeply and passionately. Believe in your ability to create the reality that you want, one where you are happy, and loved, and living in harmony. Don’t turn off, because sometimes, people get stuck like that.

Today, watch how you giving a shit about the world around you deepens your experience and changes the shape of your world? Does it become brighter and more beautiful? What are you choosing to be apathetic about in order to protect yourself from negative emotion?

Explore these questions! Have these conversations with those close to you. You may be shocked by what you discover.
